Answer:

x=9

Explanation:

1. simplify the left side of the equation 7x +3x-18 becomes 10x-18

2. simplify the right side of the equation 6(x+3) becomes 6x+18

3 so the equation now is 10x-18=6x+18

4 subtract 6x from both sides to get 4x-18=18

5. add 18 to both sides to get 4x=36

6 finally divide both sides equally by 4 to solve for x so x=36÷4=9

x=9
